Lethbridge Therapeutic Riding Association

Room to Roam. Built for Horses. 🐴

These aren't just LTRA's lesson horses — they're partners. We entrust them with our most fragile riders, and they show up with patience, gentleness, and heart every single day.

While many lesson programs keep horses in small pens, we believe in horses being horses. Our program herd lives together 24/7 — moving, grazing, and thriving as a group, the way horses are meant to live.

One of the ways we say thank you? Almost 20 acres of pasture wrapping around our property, dedicated entirely to them. When they're not changing lives in the arena, they're out here doing exactly what you see in this photo.

Add in regular veterinary care, consistent farrier work, and no shortage of love from everyone they meet, and you get a herd that's healthy, happy, and ready to give their best to every rider.

RIDE4DREAMS IS BACK—AND THIS YEAR IS EXTRA SPECIAL!

Join us September 11 & 12 for the 43rd Annual Joanne Perlich Ride4Dreams as we celebrate 50 years of the Lethbridge Therapeutic Riding Association and the community that has kept this dream moving forward since 1976.

ONE FUNDRAISER. TWO UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES. ONE INCREDIBLE CAUSE.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11: RIDE4DREAMS CABARET

For one night only, the LTRA Arena will be transformed into a country concert venue featuring Chase Morgan and Brettyn Rose—performing separately and together throughout the evening. Enjoy an upscale BBQ, spirited live auction and an unforgettable night of music, dancing and community.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12: RIDE4DREAMS TRAIL RIDE

Saddle up and ride for a reason! Riders will collect pledges before coming together for a scenic group ride through Pavan Park, complete with lunch, prizes and plenty of community spirit.

Whether you attend the Cabaret, join the Trail Ride, pledge a rider or sponsor the event, your support helps LTRA provide accessible therapeutic riding and equine wellness services to children, youth and adults across Southern Alberta.

Last year’s Cabaret sold out—reserve early!

Golfers, Teams & Sponsors Wanted!
